1. In Search of 20

Indians starter Corey Kluber will look for his 20th win tonight against the Sox, and it's a good bet that he'll get it if he can pitch like he has against them so far this year.

Kluber is perfect against the Sox, 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA this season. In his last start which was against Chicago at home last week, he threw eight innings, allowing three runs on eight hits with two walks and 11 K's.

He did allow two homers in the eventual Indians win.

While it's looking more and more like it will be Blake Snell of the Rays winning the Cy Young, the more important thing for Kluber is to be healthy and sharp for the postseason starting in Houston or Oakland.

2. Dominating the Sox

The Indians are 12-4 against Chicago this season, winning four of seven games at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Sox are nearing the end of an ugly season, as they have lost 12 of their last 17.

Things in this series have been so one-sided, the Indians have outscored the Sox 86-43 in the games they have played this season.

The Indians pitching has also been dominant against the White Sox, as Chicago is hitting just .194 against the Tribe in their 16 meetings this season.

With nothing to play for, we will see what White Sox team shows up in the next three days.

3. Covey Coming off a Sharp Start Against the Tribe

While Dylan Covey is just 5-13 this season, and like most of the Sox starters has struggled, he did look solid in his last time out against the Indians last Wednesday.

That game he threw six scoreless innings in a no-decision. He left with a 1-0 lead, but the Indians rallied for a 4-1 win.

With the Sox having played better at home than in Progressive Field against the Tribe, it will be interesting to see if Covey can put forth another good start.
